"I love you so much, Avery." He pulled Avery down to him, sinking his fingers into Avery's thick hair as they kissed slow and deep. Emotions flooded him, overwhelming him. His dreams were now a reality because of this man. His tongue danced against his lover's as he tugged his knees closer to his body, wanting Avery deeper.
"I've always loved you," Avery whispered into his mouth.
Avery picked up the pace. His hips moving back and forth, thrusting in and out of Kane, hitting his spot and pushing him closer to the edge with each pump of his hips. He writhed as Avery's skilled hand slid back between their bodies and stroked him in time with his thrusts. His thumb spread Kane's moisture across the head of his cock, stopping only briefly to delve teasingly inside his slit. No, it wasn't going to take him long tonight.
"I'm-m…gonna come." Fire gathered in his spine. His balls filled and drew up as the intense heat finally exploded, engulfing him and robbing him of his breath as his hot come shot between their bodies. "Avery," was all he managed before his ass contracted in speech-stealing and mind-numbing spasms.
"God, yes! Kane, oh God, yes…" Avery choked out in deep grunts. He plunged in one last time and his whole body tensed. Kane's ass continued to clench and constrict around Avery, while his husband's cock jerked and twitched inside him. Avery flooded him with liquid warmth. His body involuntarily shuddered at the amazing feeling of rapture. His ass tightened around Avery one last time as his lover collapsed on him. Kane gasped for breath, kissing Avery's sweaty skin, willing his heart rate to slow. He was weak with pleasure, his body limp with contentment.
They lay, totally blissed out, with Avery's full weight resting on him. Neither spoke. Kane always loved this moment of just being, of knowing they were one. Their heartbeats were in sync as their bodies slowly returned to earth. Avery's sweet lips pressed against his as he slid out of him, drawing him from his thoughts. Their bodies were no longer connected, but their souls were. He loved this man. He loved the life they shared and the future they were building, His heart filled with joy as he thought about the two sleeping babies in the nursery.
"Hold on, babe. Let me clean us up, stay right there," Avery said, breaking the silence as he pushed from the bed, placing a kiss on Kane's chest before heading to the bathroom. After a few minutes, he returned with a warm wet towel and cleaned them both. Avery tossed the towel to the floor and crawled back in bed, pressing the length of his body along Kane's. Kane turned to face Avery.
"I'm so incredibly happy. I still can't believe it's real. Our family's finally complete." Avery's arms slid around his waist and pulled him closer.
"This is exactly what I've wanted since the first time I kissed you. I love you, Kane, and I love our family."
Chapter 20
December, 1989 ~ Minneapolis, Minnesota.
La Bella Luna
"I can't believe you pulled this off," Avery said, holding Kane close as they danced together on the makeshift dance floor covering half of La Bella Luna. Seventy-five of their closest family and friends were gathered for Avery's surprise fiftieth birthday party.
"So you were surprised?" Kane grinned, proud of his accomplishment. It was a rare day to get anything past Avery Adams—especially when he lived in the same house—yet somehow he'd made this surprise happen. They were dancing to "Your Song" by Elton John. Avery always called it their song. Kane wasn't sure they had an official song, but Avery always said this particular tune reminded him of them. The slow melody allowed for intimate moments, while still being appropriate in front of their family and children. Kane suspected that was more than likely the true reason Avery chose this song as theirs.
"I must be slipping in my old age," Avery shot back, waggling his eyebrows.
"Yeah right!" Kane snorted. "You're sharper than ever. This wasn't easy for me to keep secret. You made me work for it."
"I can't believe I didn't figure it out when you made me wear a tux to the theater," Avery said, swaying to the music.
"You know I love you in this tux." He grinned up at Avery. Age had been kind to his husband, Kane loved the sprinkling of gray hair just beginning to show and how the fine lines formed around the corner of Avery's eyes as he beamed back at him.
"I was just thinking I was gonna get lucky tonight if I wore it. I was surprised it still fits." Avery drew Kane closer, and Kane laid his head on Avery's shoulder. The exact move Avery had been angling for since they'd started dancing. They were pressed together from head to toe, and he loved the feel of Avery's firm body, warm and solid, against his. Avery brought their entwined hands up, tucking them between their chests as he slid his hand inside Kane's suit jacket, keeping them tightly together.
"You haven't changed that much over the years," Kane said in little more than a whisper. Avery lowered his head, laying his cheek on Kane's head. Lord, did Avery have a way of making him feel special. Kane wrapped himself tighter around his husband.
"How does it feel to be married to a fifty-year-old?" Avery finally asked. Kane lifted his head, mischief in his eyes.
"Now that you say it like that, I am just a babe in the woods!" Avery snorted and gave an indulgent grin.
"My original plans for the night were to put the children to bed early and show you what someone of my advanced age could still do to a body like yours. Since, those plans have changed, and this is the first few minutes I've had alone with you, I think you need to lay your head back on my shoulder, whisper how much you love me into my ear, and remember your day is just around the corner."
